Paint a FrescoA fresco is a painting made directly on fresh plaster. A chemical change happens as the fresco is being created. As the fresco dries, a chemical in the wet plaster called calcium hydrate combines with a chemical from the air called carbon dioxide. When these chemicals combine, the paint gets stuck in the plaster so that it won?t peel, chip, or wash off. This is one reason that frescoes can last a very long time.

Glitter SlimeIn this activity students make 'slime' from glue and water. The glue and water mixture contains long chains of a polymer called polyvinyl acetate. When you add the borax solution, it links the long polymer chains together, changing the liquid into a slimy glob. When you add the glitter to the slime, it stays there and does not easily come back out.,Students investigate how this slime is like mucus that we find in our bodies. Our natural mucus contains sugars and proteins, which are also polymers. Mucus protects many other parts of your body.

Eggstra-ordinary Gas PressureStudents place an egg between two inflated zip-closing bags. When dropped from a height the egg manages to survive, intact. By inflating and then sealing the zip-closing bags, students created gas,pressure inside the bags. There was nowhere for the air inside the bag,to go. The more air added, the greater the gas pressure inside the bag. Because of this gas pressure inside the bags, the bags,served as a pillow for the egg. The egg did not break because it never,hit the ground. As long as the egg is secured by the gas ?pillows,? it will,not break.

Evaporation ExplorationFabrics like cotton can soak up sweat and water, and they dry slowly. So as a person sweats, cotton clothes can become wet and sticky, even heavy?they hold on to the water they soak up. New high-tech fabrics in modern sports clothing are different. They have the ability to pull moisture away from the skin and carry it to the outer surface of the clothing, where it can evaporate more easily and cool you off. In the following activity, students compare the rate of evaporation of water from cotton and a paper towel, which will act like a high-tech fabric.
